Ugh. Fixed the website being down ! Thanks. Sharing the sketch-up model is ..."sketchy" pun intended. I could get into all sorts of legal issues if you built something based of it. But, my youtube channel fully documents everything I did, so maybe you could see that part in one of the...

Ah, nice. I'm not sure if it's AC/DC, he did say it was 220v, that's why he's getting rid of it, because he doesn't weld much, and his new house doesn't have that kind of power in the garage. All good information guys thanks!

I own a wire feed welder that i've used a few times. A guy at work is selling a lincoln stick feed welder. I'm thinking about picking it up cause it's cheap. What are the big differences between the two types, and when do you use each type?

I really like the idea of quiet, as this one is deafening. I've been planning to build a box around them and put them in the basement of the garage just to get away from the noise. I've actually got a trailer mounted generator / compressor, made by pelsue, use to be used for man holes. That...

Ok, snapped a few pics of relevant data.

Yes...I'm liking the sound of that. I recall thinking about that in a passing moment wondering if that's possible. SO that would give me, more CFM correct?

Yeah, totally hear you with the not enough data. I don't know the size of the motor or the tank off hand, but I'm picking up what you're laying down. I'll get the specs from the compressor and report back.

Hrm, yeah, i was thinking they'd probably price the rebuild half what a new one costs. So i'm the type of person that would be more inclined to pick up a nice compressor than to put money into one that will still be a lame compressor. So what should I be looking for? Seems like NOT oil less...

WOW, lots of great responses. Um, i think it's an oil-less. It's getting up to like 125, and i think i remember it shutting off at like 130 or 135. It pretty much just holds at 125 and doesn't got any higher. Then when i shut it off, and hose removed, no leaks. SO, if the pump is worn, then...

Yeah i mean, there for sure is a small leak in the hose, both ends, but this is even without the hose plugged in. Also, my drain valve at the bottom used to leak, and now doesn't, because it broke off. I bought a new one to replace it, also, thinking that there might be water in the bottom...

I've used sharkbite fittings for 1" pex to 1" copper. The connection was easy to make, and I had to remove it at least twice for other work, and each re-connection it didn't leak either. If you're never going to see this fitting again, I would be very very slow and cautious putting them...

Guys, I've got a probably 8 year old craftsman compressor, that has progressively taken more and more time to shut off, and the last 6 times I've ended up getting frustrated with the noise, before it ever shut off, so I'm tempted to say it just can't quite build up enough pressure. Anyone have...

I created a group for us! Excited to be here. Anyone else from vermont, join up! I just finished building my long awaited garage, and video'd the entire build. it's long and exhaustive. I really wanted to have the time during the build to post on a forum like this, but I was out straight...

oooh, nice...
